AP Preview:
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Hunter Dickinson was back on the court for No. 1 Kansas on Monday night.
His next game is going to be a more difficult challenge.
Dickinson missed two exhibition games because of a minor injury. But the 7-foot-2 center returned to the Jayhawks’ lineup for their opener, scoring 16 points in an 87-57 victory over Howard.
Next up is a matchup with No. 9 North Carolina on Friday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
“It felt really good (to be playing),” Dickinson said. “Obviously, there was some rust from a finishing aspect. I might not have been able to play 35, but I could have played a couple more minutes. Thankfully I have a couple of more days before the big game.”
Dickinson went 5 for 8 from the field in 21 minutes. The preseason Associated Press All-American also had six rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots.
Dickinson said he was pleased with how he played defensively.
“As a team, we really guarded their actions well,” he said. “That’s something we worked on a lot.”
Kansas coach Bill Self was pleased as well, though he couldn’t help but take a friendly jab at Dickinson.
“A guy that had lost some rhythm,” Self said when asked what he saw in Dickinson’s performance. “He was out of sorts a little bit, but he needed to be out there.
“I thought he did fine. He’s so unselfish. He’s just such a good teammate and a good passer. But you could tell he didn’t have his legs yet.”
Dickinson is in his second season at Kansas after transferring from Michigan. He said he feels very much at home.
“I feel like a vet now, even though I’ve only been here for a year,” he said. “I feel like one of the elder statesmen on the team. Playing in Allen Fieldhouse, every game is special. I try not to take it for granted. It is truly a blessing. I’m fortunate to play in front of these fans every night.”
North Carolina opened with a 90-76 victory over Elon on Monday night. The Tar Heels feature an impressive backcourt.
“I think it will be hard to guard their three guards,” Dickinson said. “They have one of the best backcourts in the country.”
But Dickinson felt the Jayhawks should be prepared because of what they do in practice.
“Going against ourselves will probably be the best (preparation),” he said. “If we are who everyone says we are — the No. 1 team in the country — we should be able to play against each other and make each other better in the next three days.”
Four teens hurt in southeast Kansas rollover
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Four teenagers are hurt after being in a rollover crash on Sunday.

The crash happened just after midnight near the intersection of North 150th and North streets, northeast of Girard.

The Detroit Tigers were beaten by the Kansas City Royals 5-1 on Saturday night.
Michael Wacha pitched seven scoreless innings, Bobby Witt Jr. hit an inside-the-park home run on a grounder and Michael Massey had a three-run homer for the Royals, who will go for the series sweep on Sunday night.
Witt hit the ball down the right-field line in the first inning that bounced off the wall and eluded right fielder Kerry Carpenter. Witt motored around the bases and beat the relay throw to the plate for a two-run homer.
It was the Royals’ first inside-the-park home run since Witt did it in August 2023.
Carpenter left the game later with left shoulder soreness.
Wacha (4-2) gave up two hits, walked two and struck out six. It was his longest scoreless outing since throwing eight scoreless innings against the Chicago White Sox on April 11.
Burch Smith (0-2) took the loss. He retired only one of the four batters he faced, allowing two runs on three hits in one-third of an inning.
Massey’s homer in the fourth inning came with runners on first and third with two outs. He lined the ball over the right-center field fence for his third homer of the season.
Wacha had at least one strikeout in each of his first four innings. The Tigers loaded the bases in the fifth on a double, a walk and a hit batter, but Wacha got Matt Vierling to ground out to end the inning.
The Tigers scored in the eighth on a two-out double by Riley Greene.
Up next
The teams conclude the three-game series Sunday. The Tigers have not announced a starter, though manager AJ Hinch said it will be a bullpen game. Kansas City will send LHP Noah Cameron (2-2, 5.40 ERA) to the mound.
Bullet point summary by AI
- The Chiefs are exploring long-term solutions at tight end beyond Travis Kelce’s expected 2026 retirement.
- One potential move involves targeting a veteran player from a team transitioning to a new starter at the position.
- The deal’s structure hinges on future playoff performance, creating a high-stakes incentive for both franchises.
While the 2026 draft is just in the books, it’s never too early to start thinking about the 2027 season — and if there’s one team that’s already looking that far ahead, it’s the Kansas City Chiefs.
Star tight end Travis Kelce is almost certainly retiring after the 2026 campaign despite an inflated new deal, and looking at the Chiefs’ depth chart, backup Noah Gray is not starting-caliber material. You could argue the team can scout for star talent in next year’s draft, but that would come with significant risk and opportunity cost if a prospect isn’t immediately NFL-ready.
Instead, there’s a potential solution general manager Brett Veach can utilize by acquiring an excess asset from another team.
This Chiefs-Bears trade solves Kansas City’s Travis Kelce problem
The Chicago Bears are clearly moving forward with 2025 first-round pick Colston Loveland as their TE1, in addition to taking blocking specialist Sam Roush out of Stanford in this year’s draft. All of which leaves backup — and previous starter — Cole Kmet on the outside looking in. The 27-year-old still has a lot of high-quality football left to play, and he’d certainly sign off on the opportunity to get starting snaps for a team with a championship window still wide open.
The problem is going to be convincing Chicago to pick up the phone in the first place. Kmet signed a restructured deal in April which disincentivizes the Bears from moving him until next year. A pre-June 1 deal would cost Chicago $4.1 million against the salary cap, while any swap after that date only saves the team $1.4 million.
So, with the present season not really an option, these two teams would need to be negotiating with next year in mind as Kmet is projected to cost the Bears $15.4 million against the cap in 2027. That’s the incentive Chicago needs to move him.
At the moment, Kmet is worth a conditional 2027 fifth-round pick — which may sound cheap, but the devil is in the details. Chicago will certainly dictate that an escalator be attached to the pick: For example, if Kansas City misses the playoffs in 2027, then it remains a fifth-rounder but may be deferred until 2028. If they qualify for the postseason then it could stay in 2027. A championship could push it up a round or two (though that would be a tough sell for the Chiefs).
Kmet has topped 500 receiving yards in three of his six seasons in Chicago, so there’s a good reason for Kansas City to inquire about his availability. The Bears, in turn, used a third-round pick to select Stanford’s Sam Roush – signaling they too are preparing for Kmet’s eventual departure.
